Wisdom and Wine

My love is a woman, but only a child
She is a vision, a soft swirling smile
A petal of poverty, a queen from a throne
She is wisdom, she is wine
She is sorrow, she is mine

Her eyes are a picture, a dance of the dawn
She moves as a poem, an angelic wand
Her tears fall as stardust caressing her smile
She is wisdom, she is wine
She is sorrow, she is mine

My love’s understanding, a haven of warm
She makes love divinely, desire reborn
And e’er as she trembles all my heart is afire
She is wisdom, she is wine
She is sorrow, she is mine
